Why Eskom Is Switching Off Its Power On Purpose - Episode #139

from Daily Bagel · host Bagel Media

In Today's Show:  South Africa’s power crisis has taken an unexpected turn, with Eskom deliberately switching off generators because the grid is finally stable - a move that raises fresh questions about how real this recovery is. At the same time, forecasters warn that a volatile summer weather pattern is locking much of the country into sudden storms and disruption, while a new global corporate tax deal quietly decides where billions in profits may end up - and whether South Africa ever sees its share. With a wildcard that explains why the Big 5 were once a warning label, not a tourism badge.More From Us:Whatsapp Channel ⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠SpotifyApple Podcast
